UP HOPE

ALLEN WAGNER granted the divorce, and, furthermore, that the complaint did not state whether child-stealing was a criminal offense in Indiana. It seems that It Is not included in the category of offenses in the Pennsylvania statutes. While Governor Stuart did not turn over the prisoner, he Is being held In custody to await an amended complaint. The child is also in custody. The necessary papers will be forwarded at once and there Is still a probability that Wagner will be brought to trial In Hammond and that the 8-year-old boy, who was stolen from his mother, will be returned to her WILL COST BECKER EASTjIDE VOTE Voters in This Section of the City Angered Over' Act of Mayor. BREAKS UP THEIR MEETING Eepublicans Refused Admission to Nick Kahl's Place Through Democratic Connivance, Tlie republican meeting on the east side last evening was one of the best that has yet been held during the campaign. The meeting was scheduled to be beld in Nick Kahl's place, but it is understood that a certain Hammond Becker man telephoned to the Keeley Brewing company and had them refuse Nick Kahl the right to hold a meeting in his pavilion. This aroused the people of the cast side to the fighting point, and today they are simply boiling over in their indignation. It was one of the worst mistakes of the desperate Becker cam paign. The meeting was adjourned to Hen ry F. Hasselbring's place, 663 Michigan avenue, and there over 200 persons crowded into the little hall and listen ed to the speakers. Will lie a Boomerang. The meeting that the friends of Beck er tried to break up developed into one of the best meetings of the campaign, and every man who was forced to leave Nick Kahl's place and go elsewhere is now an ardent Fchaaf man. The people of the east side are say ing today, "If the Becker men are so anxious to prevent the people from hearing the Schaaf arguments there must be something in them." One mistake after another which has been made by the Becker forces is damaging the Becker campaign and is daily adding strength to the Schaaf forces. As a result of the attempt of Beck er'B friends to break up the Schaaf meeting at Nick Kahl's pavilion, it will cost Becker the east side vote. GARY BLIND ine trial or the Uary blind tiger cases, which were filed in Hammond will not be tried until Nov. 10, am the cases which have been filed in Crown Point will not be tried until Nov. 17. In view of the large number of cases which have been filed and the fact that it is possible t impose a fine and im prisonment for the violation of the law there is a. great deal of interest being taken in the cases.

ORGANIZE BOARD OF ATHLETIC COflTROL

Meeting of Superintendents and Delegates Nov. 3 to Perfect Plan. ALSO A DEBATING SOCIETY Effort Will Be Made to Establish New Societies On a Firm Basis. (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 30. Two fea tures that will do much toward the advancement of the public school in Lake county and tend toward settling some of th mooted questions arising from the differences and disputes over athletic results and questions, were given an Impetus at an impromptu meeting of the heads of the various schools yesterday, and as a result Lake j County High School Debating society j and a Lake county board of athletic control will be inaugurated. Nov. 3 lias been settled upon as the date for a meeting of the superintendents and delegates from the various schools to meet at Hammond to form an organiaation to be organized under the above given titles, and that they will be uccessful in perfecting the two so cieties and making them a feature of the school life in Lake county Is an assured fact. It is the Intention of the debating club, when organized, to hold a progressive debate with the various schools in the county as contestants, and subjects will be selected and their champions drawn by the govern ing board. The board of control which will deal with all athletic disputes and questions relative to contests, etc., in this line, will practically settle the matter of long waits for decisions from the state governing body, and it is the in tention to make their findings as final as possible, only resorting to the state body for decisions on important dis putes and questions. The two new fea tures have been hailed with acclaim by the superintendens, principals and the student body at large, and will meet a hearty response at the meeting slated for Nov. 3. FIGHT OVER BOUNTY Coal Distributed for Elec tion Purposes Causes Dissension. A carload of coal which the demo crats have bought for some of the for eigners at the Standard Steel car district, to get votes for the election next Tuesday, is said to be causing more dissension than anything else. It seems that there is no equal distribution of it and that some of the leaders, like Stadola. Novak and Dubosh, saloon keepers, are getting the lion's share instead of letting it go to the really needful ones. The coal is figured to furnish the substantial accompaniment for the bar rels of beer that the democrats have bought for t)v? worktrs In the Standard Steel car vvor'ss. But the democrats are wondering now whether it was a good stroke to buy a carload of coal and leave it to the leaders for distribu tion.
